Beginnings are always the hardest bit. Whether you have written before or have never given it a go, we know how hard it can be to get started. That is why, on Friday 4 November, Sherman Theatre are inviting young people to take part in a playwriting workshop to help start creative writing. Assisted by professional playwrights and theatre makers, we are giving the pen and paper to the young people to tell their story.
From 10am – 4pm we will be welcoming young people into our rehearsal rooms to find their beginning. We hope that young people will find a place where they can belong, where they can be themselves and explore the incredible stories they want to tell. This workshop is offered FREE OF CHARGE.
